Love Metaphor Poems - Poems about Love Metaphor

RUSTED MILES
An ominous trail in their dark ashes— each ellipsis hid a treacherous bend. I feel the camper’s hollow rattle between cracked ribs that won’t quite mend. Not their youth, but mine— still burning in oil-smoke haze too thick to see. Torn nights of endless yearning— a senseless chase I couldn’t face, and wouldn’t flee. Would the dust of reckless trysts still stir— and burn again? Would my reading turn to riding that soulless path, the camper’s sin? The snare of wishing for...

Not for ailing love
our beautiful balloon, about to burst, an endless journey meets its sudden end, forced to tango with our faults. photographs torn, glass shards scattered in the open. our roads split in two, our bridges burnt, to let our ships sail toward different seas. winter flakes fall cold, summer sun shines warm; ...

Stormy Days
You, strong sun that soars, crumbles down tonight, A stormy day arrives at your bright face, The sunny rays are nowhere in my sight, A gust of silent air consumes the space. No light shines in this room. Forever drain, The world cools when the sun is blocked by guise, Your clouds cry and pour and...

Premium Member Lavender Licorice and Lemonade Lakes
You taste as if twilight were— lavender swirling like smoke from the earth licorice lingering with the full moon’s soft pull a sweetness both dark and divine. Your skin sparkles with starlight electric and soft as moth wings. We sip the pink sky lemonade lakes cascade through our fingers time unspools between our hands while the past drinks from our open palms. The air crackles...

The High-Wire Act of Love
Walking a thin wire way up high above whichever way you lean you just might fall in love. At times there's nothing better the feelings are so great mistakes do sometimes happen when love has turned to hate. It's hard for some to figure why everything did change but love is an enigma and sometimes even strange. So get back on the wire better balanced than before another chance...

The Echo Returns Naught - Mar 16
Shouting across the void, I’ve begged for you; I’ve heard my straining voice fall lost to the Abyss between us two; Ignoring my plea, The echo returned not, no answer due. Peering into the gulf—oh! what a view— Reflection there was none, no none to see; Heeding thus firstly your true nihility, The echo unreturning, I turned from you. The...

Act 1
I think I deserve a ‘Best Actor’ award For my performance as the Hopeless Romantic in the One Sided Lover Although it’s more my life than a role I was given a script but once I saw you I forgot my lines You being the female lead that I was destined to fall for but never get How cruel this...

Pomerenian
In a world of giants The pomerenian is a flicker - A spark against the horizon Small but fierce Its eyes catch the stars Twinkle with mischief Near but distant A lively bundle of joy, A fluffy ball of fur Its love, a devotion Unmatched, unparalleled. ...
